0.2 ohm coil vs 1.2 and battery

[mortenhy]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am new to vaping.. So my new Kangertech K Kiss comes with a 0.2 ohm coil and no extra coil in the package (at least not here in Denmark) and I am confused this ohm thing..

1: Is it true that a 0.2 coil produces more vape than a 1.2 ohm coil? So the lower ohm, the more vape you get? In my head I just want it to be a other way around lol.. The more ohm, des more vape..

2: is it correct that if my battery (non adjustable) is full, I get more vape compared to when it is half full? So the lower battery left, the more I have to "work for my vape"?

If you're using a mechanical mod, yes, the lower your battery is, the less power you have going to your coil. Lower ohm builds will typically perform better on a mechanical device if vapor is what you're after.
That being said, I don't recommend using any prefab pop in coils on mechanical mods. There's just too much to go wrong. Buy a decent regulated mod for your subtanks....it's safer and you can tune your vape to exactly what you want.
Vapor production actually has more to do with wicking and airflow. Thinking you need ultra low ohm builds to get big clouds is absurd.

Edit: What @Asbestos4004 just said. He clearly had more coffee than me this morning and out-typed me with one hand holding his mod.

I was hoping you'd sweep in and fill the blanks. I got winded and had to tap out....

Really great info for a newbie, thanks.

 

[mortenhy]

Oh I see.. So airflow is just as important as low ohm when it comes to making a lot of vape..

We're all "newbies" my friend....some of us just started before others! Newbie, noob....whatever...I can't stand terms like that. It just sounds so derogatory. We're just glad you're here and smart enough to ask questions. Welcome.

Thanks, and thanks for the help so far.

There's really no reason to use an unprotected mech these days. Everything was a mech 7 or 8 years ago, but today there's a wide selection of regulated mods that produce up to 300 watts with short protection and variable wattage/voltage/temperature control and lots of safety features.

At least make sure your mech has a fuse or some sort of short protection. It's not wise to pocket carry a mech.

Hello mortenhy, I've never even heard of the Kanger K Kiss so now advice in that respect but as Dave said there are plenty of good regulated mods. Whilst mechs are the most solid mods you can get, you need knowledge to use them.
I've vaped for about 8 years an only just got round to getting one, they are great if you know what your doing...
And a 0.2 on one mod can push 150w, whilst on other mods it might only reach 50w so you cannot rely on the ohms to know how much vapor production you will get.

Thanks for your answer. I don't know what a mech is, but I am sure that it is a short word for battery mechanical? The manual says that there is some kind of protection against stuff like that, but to be honest I never thought about safety until now so I will def read up on that..

Ok thanks. I can see that there is more into it than I thought (which is good).. Some people even build their own coils etc..

Looks like the Kanger K-Kiss is an internal battery mod with a 6300mah internal battery and a sub ohm tank.

It looks safe to me. It has direct voltage output with internal short protection. The .2 ohm coil comes with the kit.

It is a short word for mechanical yes, & yes I would definitely recommend reading up on them. You've gotta know what amps, an resistance to build at. People have been stupid an had them blow up in their faces, make sure you've done some research if you get one. They are very good if you know what your doing though, I've never had flavour that good!

6300mah battery? Wow that's even more than my istick power!

You always build with mechs, you can't just shove a random tank on it

A traditional mech mod is basically a tube with a battery and a 510 connector to mount an atomizer. It's very much like an old fashioned flashlight with a 510 connector. The true mech directly connects the battery to the coil with no protection circuit. Some add a Kick device to control voltage and provide short protection.

Yours has internal protection against shorts. It's a modern version that drives the atomizer directly from the battery, but has a protection circuit built in.

You've definitely worded it better than me Dave, you have a better way at explaining things than me

I agree.

Often i have been vaping and blowing bigger clouds than another person using a lower resistance coil than i was and using 3 times the amount of power than i was.

There are three things goes into big clouds.

Good build.
Right amount of power
High vg juice.

I usually vape a Kayfun lite plus at 8-10 watts.

Where most people vape 50% vg. I DIY juice that is 70-80% vg
